The Coming Repug Voter Revolt?.....

[GentryDixon]

29. Option A.

In my state, Utah, the Church tacitly tells the flock to vote Republican. They march lock-step to the voting booth to do just that. Since they have so many tax deductions for all of their children, they don't feel the pinch many do.

I got into a discussion with my financial adviser about taxes. He is a devout Mormon, 5 children & thinks the tax rate is too high & the government spends too much money. I asked him if he liked driving on roads without falling into potholes and other such government expenditures. The city has terrible roads, and they are so short on tax dollars they canceled their county fair. After giving all the tax breaks to the big business to get them into the city, they are dying for revenue, but won't raise taxes. I explained to him that I fully support paying taxes for that purpose and the school budget as well. I had one child, long since out of the system & he has 5 children in the system other people are paying for because of the tax credits he gets with all of these little darlings. He actually looked embarrassed when I said that. No matter. He still gets the tax credits, and I pay for his children to get educated.
